Which statement best describes Niels Bohr's interpretation of the variable n that kept appearing in mathematical formulas related to the atomic emission spectrum of hydrogen? The electron behaves like a particle in a circular orbit. Each n value is actually a different energy state that's linked to the binding energy of hydrogen. Niels Bohr did not have an explanation for the meaning of n because he did not know about the existence of electrons. Niels Bohr thought that n represented the number of wavelengths that would be observed when the hydrogen electron transitioned from one energy level to another.
